Assault Android Cactus Now Available on Steam

Witch Beam’sAssault Android Cactus, a arcade-style twin stick shooter set in a vivid sci-fi universe, is now available on PC, Mac and Linux.

The game is set on a spaceship commandeered by rogue robots and it’s up to Junior Constable Cactus and her fellow android allies to blast their way through hectic and dynamically changing levels so they can find out what exactly is causing the robots to go berserk.

There are nine playable androids, all equipped with their own primary and secondary weapons, and unique style of play. Cactus is the all-around character, picking off enemies with her assault rifle and charging in to deal big damage with her flamethrower. Coral prefers close-range action with her shotgun, but can drop an enemy repelling plasma field to keep in control when necessary.

Assault Android Cactus rewards an aggressive style of play, its “battery mechanic.” The androids’ batteries constantly drain throughout a level, and will shut down if fully depleted, thus ending the level. The only way to restore power is by picking up batteries from fallen enemies.
